If we had a real floor general type, we'd be waaaay more efficient in the half court and in transition. Jaylen and Tatum are extremely careless with the basketball.
This. So much this. The Jays are too dominant, and it seems as if everyone must bow down to them (give them the ball). Having a true facilitator would go a long way. In the meantime, I would like to see Brad put out a lineup that does not feature the Jays, at least every now and then. Now that we have Romeo back, and Evan Fournier, it shouldn't be too hard to come up with a combo that works.
How about:
Pritchard, Romeo, Fournier, Mo Wagner, and Timelord? or
Pritchard, Smart, Fournier, Semi, TT? or
Smart, Romeo, Fournier, TT, Kornet?
On days when the ball is dropping for the Jays, give them their usual minutes. On those days when it isn't, and their energy is not looking good, where's the harm in trying to find a combo that can move the ball, bring a different energy, and see if someone else might have a hot hand?
